For some of us, Halloween is something we prepare for during the whole month of October (and maybe even at the end of September).

You may have been getting ready for the holiday for weeks, with pumpkins carved, candy stocked, and the finishing touches on your handmade crochet costume all ready to go.

Whether you’ve been planning all month or are just trying to put together some last-minute activities for the kids, you can add some extra fun to this Hallo-weekend with these five Halloween-themed printables.

Each printable is the perfect balance of sweet and spooky, and kids of all ages will enjoy them!

1. Set Up a Game of “You’ve Been BOOed”


If you’ve decided to stay socially distanced for Halloween this year, it doesn’t mean the kids have to miss out on any of the fun! Start a game of “you’ve been BOOed” by tagging a neighbor with a bag of candy on their doorstep and these cute door printables.

You and the kids can drop the goodies off, ring the doorbell, and then watch your neighbors receive your surprise from a safe distance. It will be up to them to continue the game by tagging another neighbor, and everyone gets to join in on the socially-distanced fun!

Fun Halloween Printable: You've Been Booed
Over the summer, we brought the kids to our public library and signed up for the BC Summer Reading Club. It was a great motivator for the kids to continue to read or do our "activity book" (aka. homework) every day over the summer.

BB was very driven to color in her circle each time she reads a book or worked in her activity book so that she could earn her sticker each time she completes 7 circles. I was a bit easy on her on some days, but I also wanted her to succeed too.

I had some doubts, but by the end of the summer, BB actually finished her Summer Reading Club booklet and managed to earn a medal from the library for all her hard work! She was so proud. She wanted to do more of it!

Do you remember playing with these reusable sticker books from when you were little? They had these waxy/laminated pages where you can stick and peel off stickers without ruining/ripping them.

I really wanted to get one for BB so that she could have her own sticker collection one day! Right now, she just sticks them on me.

Most sticker pads I've encountered nowadays have the recommended age of 3 and up printed on them. However, from what I've read online, many parents introduced stickers at around 18 months (with supervision, of course) as activities to help build fine motor skills.

I personally love stickers, and couldn't wait to introduce stickers to BB as soon as I felt that she was ready for them. Mui Mui, unfortunately, is still a bit too young to appreciate them.

I didn't think much of Moana when I first saw the movie. But it definitely grows on you when your 3-year-old asks you to watch it with her three times a day. 

The movie is actually quite a masterpiece and the music is absolutely beautiful! I can listen to the soundtrack all day long!

We are heading on a family vacation to Hawaii this year and BB keeps saying that she wants to go look for the Heart of Te Fiti in Hawaii. I wish I knew where to look...?

She has been obsessed with little gems, rhinestones, and marbles for a long time now. So when there was a movie that centered around a glowing green rock, I am not surprised that she would ask for one. 

This girl just loves her bling!

Sadly, it's not exactly the easiest thing to find available commercially. But hey, I'm always up for a good DIY!
